Publisher Summary

This chapter focuses on the isolation of goblet cell apical membrane from tobacco hornworm midgut and purification of its vacuolar-type ATPase. The only known method for isolation of the goblet cell apical membrane from larval lepidopteran midgut is described in this chapter. This chapter also described is the purification of the ATPase associated with this membrane as well as procedures for measuring both membrane-bound and purified solubilized ATPase activity. The chapter also discusses a detailed description of reliable and sensitive colorimetric methods for measurement of inorganic phosphate and protein is included. This chapter presents a discussion on the isolation of the goblet cell apical membrane. The isolated posterior midgut segment is placed lumen side down and the Malpighian tubules are removed.this chapter concludes with the discussion on Purification of the goblet cell apical membrane ATPase.

    After 10 min of preincubation at 30 °C with or without inhibitors, 1 mm Tris-ATP was added, and after an incubation for 2 min at 30 °C, the reaction was stopped by freezing the samples in liquid nitrogen. Inorganic phosphate was measured as described previously (24). VDAC gene sequences were obtained from resistant (ISOR3, EMBL-EBI accession number FR870468) and susceptible (WAA42, EMBL-EBI accession number FR870467) weevil strains.
